His career as a concert pianist, which would eventually take him to every continent except Australia and Antarctica, began at age nine. At 14 he entered the Berlin High School for Music, and soon afterwards he moved to the United States, where most of his remaining life was spent; he gave his first American concert in 1884. In 1886, after a North American tour, he went to Paris, where he befriended Camille Saint-Saëns and many leading French musicians. By 1890 he was teaching at the New York College of Music, and he became a U.S. citizen in 1891; he taught later in Philadelphia and Chicago, and in Vienna from 1909 to 1914. As early as 1892 Godowsky was already teaching weight, relaxation and economy of motion as the foundation of piano technique, in both interpretation and mechanism. Teaching relaxation and economy of motion as the base of technique can be read as an emphasis on ease over force. Godowsky composed the Java Suite for solo piano between 1924 and 1925; it was originally published as “Phonoramas. Tonal journeys for the pianoforte.” A title promising tonal journeys for the pianoforte suggests a composer who thought of the piano as a way of travelling. Its twelve movements draw on the gamelan music of Java and make extensive use of pentatonic harmony. Drawing a piano suite from Javanese gamelan music suggests a composer curious about sounds far from the keyboard’s home.
